impending Strike.

New YORK, January 26.-Longshore-
men are considering the question OF
having general strike all along the
docks and piers of the city. An order
was issued yesterday to all coal SHOW
elers to refuse to handle "scab" coal.
The result is that no coal is being
landed in the city. The stoppage will
effect all steamship lines who are de-
pendent on them for ordinary supplies.
The Union of Coal Shovelers have as
members all men who unload canal
boats or barges of coal. Longshoremen
handle coal for steamship lines the
same as regular merchandise. The two
unions are affiliating. aongshoremen
will not handle coal for any steamship
line taking freight from the Old Do
miniOn. Three ships of the Wilson line
are tied up because the company &C
cepted Old Dominion freight. Trouble
is expected at the Cunard pier. The
Gala arrived this morning, and men
were to begin unloading at l O'Clock, but
the men were. ordered not to begin
work because old Dominion freight was
received. The DeVonia, of the Anchor
Line, is in the same fix. Both unions
are hopeful of success. Officers of the
Old Dominion say they have all the
men they need. Over 100 men were
unloading the steamer AlgierS to-day.
ice-Superintendent Murray issued
an order today, ordering all reserves
out. He considers the situation as
threatening, and says he will not be
caught mapping. By this order 1900
men can be concentrated at any point
n the city at an hours notice. In
Brooklyn no tre1ble has yet occurred.
at Lamberts stores police protection
was demanded. The men declared they
would refuse to handle Anchor line
reight, as it came from the Old Domip-
on. The police reserves were all
,alled out.

THE Canadian view.

rovovTo January 26.-Referr.ng to
tho washington fisheries legislation.
the Globe, to-day says: The United
sto+as Senate, since it became caucus
Of nlntocrats, has displayed little states
manship, and its deoadence in general
ss+eem will be furthered by its Ietaliat-
;ng fisheries bill. When no evidence
mso before them, and with none in re-
bnttaI of the statements OF angry fish
ermen Senators of the United States
have brought Cansda up for trial, pro-
n0nnced her guilty, and put the weapon
for her punishment into the Presidents
hands. The use OF that weapon will
ininre American trade at least as much
as CapaC ian. 1t does not lessen the
Contempt que to senatorial legislation,
hat their game in It's diplomatic aspect
"a an old one or alarming Great Britain
into bul doing Canada"
The NGlk says;A retaliatory measure
has been passed by the United States,
and as a result poor Canada is to suffer
all the froWns of the Republic If she
nersists in enforcing her treaty rights.
The Canadian authorities simply re-
1uired fishermen to obey the customs
laws. such as all Americans vessels
freousnting Canadian ports are obliged
to obey, and to report on their entrance,
and to clear regularly upon their de-
parture. Only two seizures were made
for violation by Americans of the treaty
by purchasing bait. The Canadian gov
eminent has not in a single instance re-
fused any fair rights of hospitality,
having allowed all reasonable facilities
for shelter, repairs, obtaining wood and
water, getting medical advice and
reasonable supplies for the sustenance
of life when vessels have run out of
these; and for this eastern fishermen
want American people to refuse to pur-
chase from or sell to Canada.

Lobbying Officials.

SALT LAKE City, January 26 1887.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
There is Democratic Governor of a
Democratic Territory, appointed to said
Office by Democratic President of q
Democratic people. Is it the correct
thing for this Democratic Governor to
neglect and leave the appointed field of
his labors and rush Off to Washington
for the express purpose of lobbying
with Republicans of all grades, official
and official, to have special laws
passed to dIsfraDchise the very large
majority of the people of the Demo
cratic Territory of which he has been
appointed governor, and rob them of
most OF their civil and all .of their poll
teal rights, Constitution or no Constitu.
ton, and wholly, solely, and entirely
for the sake OF their religion? Is not
this manifestly the very way in which
Governor West is disportfng himself in
w Washington, or was very recently? Is
this paItry business what the Democracy
OF to-day has come to? What can be
the natural outcome of such degenerate
Democracy as this? How about the
offensive partisanship" in all this
spoliatiYe business?

pany, and arrived on Sunday. There
was no call for it, and this afternoon

cut off and packed IN with the body.
There was no head. On the body was
calico shirt, which had on it the name
&c. Kinkholdt." There were also several
cards found in the clothing bearing the
name of 'E. D. Siegel, butcher, Throop
Avenue, Brooklyn" The body has the
appearance of being that of a young
man, apparently of about LEO pounds,
but
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE HEAD,
there can be no conjecture as to the
age. The body is in the hands of the
coroner, who has not determined
whether to hold an inquest. The ex-
press people here have no idea who sent

sultation with our people, he thought il
advisable to leave $500 for the benefit OF

General was convinced, after exam ina
ton, that our farmers need oats, corn
and millet seed Tsther than something
to eat.
Mrs. Charley Hall, while handling q

fore VIM. Wsntlsnd at this place yester-

ing. Among the witnesses who testified
were w. T. Wagner, j. C. Carpenter, j.
B. Duncan, Clsud Ayres, W. W. Garvin,
w. d. Spivey and George Kuy Kendall.
The witnesses for the state did not iden-
tify the defendant, Cole, as one of the
robbers, more than some of them said
that he looked like one OF the robbers
who was on the outside of the train.
They said that they could certainly iden-
tify the men who were in the train, and
Claud Ayers, the engineer, ssid that he
could identify the man who guarded him
while the train was being robbed. Ken
dali, Spiyey and Garvin testified for the
defense, to the effect that they saw the
defendant, Cole, Deer Weatherford on
the identical day that the train wss
robbed, end that many others knew this
fact. Upon these statements he County
